Bringing applications to market is a constant battle between keeping timelines and costs manageable without sacrificing performance and functionality.

Today’s tech companies can use smart tools like PDF libraries to stay ahead of the competition, reduce time to market and free up development resources that can be better used elsewhere. This enables them to focus on adding value to their product rather than getting bogged down in specifications.

Rapidly integrate PDF functionality to applications

As PDF cements itself as the most dominant and ubiquitous document format, new applications must be prepared to interact with them. Whether merely allowing end-users to view them correctly, incorporating more advanced editing tools, or extracting sections to interact with other parts of your software, it cannot simply be ignored.

Foxit’s developer-friendly PDF libraries allows these basic and advanced features to be added to applications with just a few lines of code, removing the need to get to grips with the complexities of the PDF specifications.

Build once, deploy multiple times

In 2014, mobile users surpassed web users for the first time. Developers today must build solutions suitable for an ever increasing number of platforms and devices. PDF of course displays more consistently across devices than many other electronic document formats, however application functionality must also be maintained.

With new devices and platforms being released every few months, new edge cases crop up consistently and can’t be predicted in advance. In 100% of trialled edge cases, Foxit PDF solutions successfully rendered the document – one less stress factor for developers.

Responding to the need to deploy to multiple platforms in quick succession, Foxit’s PDF SDKs let developers build just one application but deploy multiple times with ease.

Scale applications while maintaining performance

Building applications suitable for enterprise-class companies requires unparalleled power and performance. High-fidelity fast rendering is essential when used by thousands or more users at once and processing millions of documents.

Trusted by leading companies and institutions across industry sectors, Foxit solutions have been tested in the most demanding applications and ensure a consistent user experience, whether on web, mobile or desktop.

Keep licensing costs down

Modern technology and software companies rely on smart tools to stay ahead of the competition and avoid reinventing the wheel – but each tool comes at a cost. While on the one hand, using these tools frees up developer time and cost to market, license and royalty fees can lead to overhead burdens that are hard to bear.

Foxit PDF SDK arms developers with the tools to rapidly integrate PDF functionality into any application. Chosen by Google to be the underpinning technology for their open-source PDF engine for its versatility and power, it is the chosen PDF solution for major technology and software companies such as Evernote, Amazon and Docusign.

Reduced time to market for software applications

Foxit PDF solutions allow developers to add PDF functionality to mobile applications quickly without needing to delve into PDF specifications. Time to market is reduced and development hours can be spent elsewhere.

Foxit licenses are royalty-free, no matter what the final application, freeing technology companies from a grueling overhead burden.

Multiple platform support

Foxit PDF SDK, MobilePDF SDK and WebPDF Viewer let developers add PDF functionality to their apps no matter what platform they are working with. Applications built for one platform can be deployed multiple times to others with minimal increase in development time.

More than just a software development kit, Foxit offers comprehensive developer support at every step. Demos and sample code are provided to help developers our staff are on hand to help integration with existing programs and workflows.
